Kickstarter: An Update

I am deeply humbled (and amazed) at the tremendous outpour of support we've received for this project. It reinforces the notion that we're doing something right -- something that will heighten awareness of the Young Adult Cancer community while simultaneously providing laughter and support. I am also REALLY FREAKING EXCITED!!! You'll be helping me focus on my health and creative output -- two things that I've been sorely missing lately.

I encourage everyone to keep spreading the word for this last week, even though we've reached our minimum goal. Every pledge helps us make it better -- I, for one, would LOVE to see this comic in full color!

Below is a picture of our workspace for the comic. We put up drywall to create a massive mood/story board to help us organize everything. Inspiration, jokes, working sketches, page layouts -- it all goes here. My sewing machines are even set up in the opposite corner! I look forward to sharing our entire process with you.

I am an artist and writer diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma. This is an attempt to document my process and provide inspiration for other twenty-somethings who refuse to go the way of headscarves and hospital gowns. I mean, really? Cancer is fucking hilarious.
